No Going Back
While the doctor treated my burn, Sean winced as he watched on, as if he were the one in pain.
Seeing me flinch, he told the doctor softly, “Please be gentle. My wife’s terrified of pain.”
His voice was so gentle that it made my eyes sting.
However, before I could say anything, he crouched in front of me and continued, “Jane, I found out that the waitress is fresh out of college. You’re Mrs. Roth, and should be more forgiving toward a young girl, don’t you think?”
I said nothing, only stared at the angry red burn across my leg.
